R. Eliezer Hagar was the son of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe, the Ahavas Yisroel, R. Yisrael Hager (1860-1936). In 1922 he was appointed Av Beth Din of Vizhnitz and established the Beth Yisrael yeshivah there. Upon his father's death, he succeeded him as Rebbe. This is his personal copy of HaMakneh, the second volume of Sefer Hafla'ah on Masechta Kiddushin by R. Pinchas Halevi Horowitz (1731-1805) of Frankfurt.
